Everyone, I had to shorten the list again because we are exceeding the line or character limit and loosing data. So the last entry prior to shortening, can be found at: http://www.disboards.com/showpost.php?p=39322000&postcount=3456'10 postings that have either passed ROFR or had ROFR exercised: I changed the text to blue for all the entries from this year to make it easier to look at current data.

Donald, are you going to distinguish on the ROFR thread before 3/20 and after 3/20?

I know that you color code depending on year purchased, but any thought on tracking that as well?

Opps, deleted my last reply, I didn't understand the question.

OK, yes that is an excellent idea. Once we start getting submittals from 3/21, I will change colors. However, it may be confusing for the first month or so because not everyone posts when they submitted for ROFR.

You can remove this note because I found out the seller booked a cruise with the 2010 points and didn't tell anyone. Those points weren't part of our deal but we can't close until the cruise is over which would delay the closing significantly. I cancelled the contract because I don't really want an April UY but was willing to make it work for the great price. But now that I'd mostly likely have to pay for my reservation out of pocket, it's no longer a good deal. If I were lucky enough to get a 40% room only discount, then my extra cost would bring this contract up to more like $74 per point. And if I were to pay rack rate, then it's more like $82 per point. NOT a good deal.

I'm feeling a little deflated over the whole thing, but glad to find out now instead of later. So, I'll keep looking.

Same type of thing happened to us on a resale last week that we thought we were going to finalize. Turned out that the seller borrowed some points then "used" 50 of the banked points (and so the listing was incorrect) and unfortunately for our next planned trip, this made all the difference to us . . . Good luck to you on finding a new contract!

Bought the twin contract from the same seller. Cancelled it today because the seller signed a contract to close in March and now wants to close the end of June.

Boy, that's disappointing for both of you! I guess some of the people who bought DVC without knowing what they were buying are now selling without knowing what they're doing there either.

As one who has been on both ends of that -- first buying, and later selling -- I certainly understand your frustration. However, it will probably work out for the best. You should both be able to find good contracts, and hopefully something that will suit you better.

The seller will undoubtedly lose money selling after 3/20, they should have to pay commissions on both sales, and honestly if it hadn't been this, it would probably would have been something else with a seller this flaky.

In this market, I wonder if all of the resale brokers are really doing their due diligence the way they should.

I know when I sold my SSR contract a few months ago, The Timeshare Store was very specific about wanting to know if any reservations had been made. Of course, the fact that they ask the question doesn't guarantee they'll be given an honest answer, but at least it's a start.
